Can the Eclipse Java formatter be used stand-alone

Question

Is there a way to use the formatter that comes with eclipse, outside of eclipse? I would like to format some java files using my formatter.xml file that I have configured using eclipse. Does anyone have any code examples that would allow me to do this? I would also like to use this standalone, so the specific jars that are used would be nice.

Answer 1

Apparently you can directly invoke Eclipse's code formatter from the command line.
